RCGT2 (Redland City Grand Tournament)

In August 2017, the Thunderstrike Brotherhood hosted RCGT2, a 2 day Age of Sigmar tournament with a 2,500 point limit.  There was a lot of uncertainty leading into the event as it was the first major event using a 2,500 point limit and happen to coincide with the end of the original General's Handbook. This is my story from the event;

RCGT2 Player Pack

--------------------

Game #1, Benjamin James, Blades of Khorne, Border War

Helmut von Hass, leader of Altdorf's Company of Honour, would start the RCGT2 campaign against the Blades of Khorne. Khorne's mighty general Benjamin would lead 3 mighty Bloodthursters, 3 hell cannons, and a thrall of bloodcrushers.  Helmut stared across the battlefield and knew that the key to victory would be to split the Bloodthursters, but knew it easier said than done.

In a blood rage, the daemons of Khorne would charge across the battle field with haste. The majority of the daemons would take the flanks of the battlefield in an attempt to pin down the mortals, while the hellcannons pounded their opponents from a distance.  Helmut wish had come true and the Bloodthirsters would attempt to win favour from Khorne by acting independently, with one taking the left flank, another in the centre, and the last on the right flank,

The Collegiate Arcane would respond by calling upon the winds of magic.  Cassandra Wagner, Roland Binder and Folan The Glorious would combine their powers to empower the Carmine Dragon before it took flight towards a Bloodthirster. With Lifesurge, Mystic Shield, and Hand of Glory enchanting the Dragon, the battlemages felt confident they had a chance of victory.

The Freeguild Guard would use their ranks to shield the battlemages and embrace the charge. Helmut's handgunners would string out behind the lines of the battle tested Swordsmen to weaken their foe on the charge.

The Carmine Dragon would take to the skies and pick out the bloodcrushers and a Bloodthirster as it's first victim. With the guided Hand of Glory, would proceed to rip apart the bloodcrushers with its amethyst fangs and raking claws. The Bloodthirster initially didn't want to get involved, confident that the rampaging bloodcrushers would be able to take down a measly Dragon. How wrong Khorne's champion would be. 

The Bloodthirster of Insensate Rage would eventually join the fight after the Carmine Dragon moved through the battle shocked bloodcrushers. The Carmine Dragon would win the initiative over the Bloodthirster and ultimately suffer the same fate.

In the centre of the battlefield the Freeguild Guard would Hold The Line and embrace charge the Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury. Arwin Fein would call upon the Storm of Shemtek to mortally wound the Greater Daemon, while the line of Handgunners did their best to cause additional wounds. 

As the Bloodthirster attempted to bring down it's Mighty Axe of Khorne, the Frostheart Phoenix would impair the Bloodthirsters vision with a Blizzard Aura. Brave men would still die from the blade of Khorne but many were spared by the Aura of Proctection radiating from the Luminark of Hysh.

On the other flank was a small rank of Guard, 3 of Sigmar's angels, and a Freeguild General on his majestic Griffon. Khorne's bloodcrushers would stampede over the Prosecutors before hitting the unit of Guard. Attacks were traded and many brave men would die to defend the Collegiate Arcane. The Griffon would swoop from the sky with it's deadly beaks and razor claws to beat back the skullcrushers.  While the General on his majestic Griffon was tied up into combat, the Herald of Khorne would break through a gap and charge the mages.

With the centre of the battlefield fortified after the death of the Bloodthirsters, the Frostheart Phoenix and Carmine Dragon would swoop at the Hellcannons which were holding up the daemon objective. Khorne's daemons were quickly losing the battle as the Dragon and Phoenix would destroy the daemonic warmachines after two rounds of combat.

The Herald of Khorne faced a similar fate at the hands of  Arwin Fein and Roland Binder the battlemages, with the final blows coming from Helmut von Hass and his runefang.
